I don't eat vegan. I eat more clean with fresh vegetables, lean
proteins, little or not grains, no wheat. I use green smoothies to
get more greens into my system and they are very cleansing.
You don't have to use a green smoothie as a meal you know, you can use
it as a side dish or beverage with a meal and in between meals as a
snack to help cleanse your system and detoxify it. I take them to
work because they are easily portable and I can make up a blender full
and portion it out for three days worth of lunches. I usually have
something with my green smoothie for the chew factor, like cold
chicken, almonds, or cheese, etc.


Here, watch this video. Look at this kid.

I urge you to do a bit more reading about green smoothies if you are
really going vegan....and I urge you to
test yourself for any kinds of sensitivity to grains...just sayin'.
